Im disappointed in you guys. You could tell a LOT more about that redear from the pic than you discussed.

First, it is a female. You can tell, not by the ear / gill cover / wing flap, but by the size of the mouth. Females mouths are much bigger than male mouths.

Secondly, it was a working class fish. Not one of the leaders of the pack. The poop was coming out the back end and not up by Condello's thumb.

Thirdly, she had recently been to the dentist.

Fourthly, Condello isn't too good of a fisherman. No good fisherman can catch as many fish as he (supposedly) caught and remain that clean. I saw no fish poop or blood on his clothes anywhere. He may have been standing in the parking lot of "Bubba's sushi bar and bait shoppe" for all we know.

BTW Condello, what were you using for bait to catch these little suckers? You vaguely mentioned it as an "offering". Come on dude, share a secret.
